Convert 0.65 to a fraction in lowest term.

1/65

20/13

13/20

65/100

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Write the decimal number as the numerator of the fraction. Numerator = 0.65 Determine the denominator based on the number of decimal places. In this case, there are two decimal places in 0.65, so the denominator will be 100 (10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places). Denominator = 100 Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms. To simplify the fraction 65/100, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5. 65 ÷ 5 = 13 100 ÷ 5 = 20 The simplified fraction is 13/20.

3 toyotas x 15 cars = 45
1 kia x 7 cars = 7
4 fords x 6 cars=24
40+45+7+24 = 116 cars

Convert 0.60 to ratio in simplest form

2:50

2:6

1:6

3:5

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
